Dr. Karsten Kraugh — Feeding Innovation and Optimizing Animal Health Through Enzymes

Dr. Karsten Kraugh is a Technical Fellow at IFF, leading a team of scientists dedicated to developing feed enzymes that enhance animal production. His work is rooted in a deep understanding of biological processes—translating science into practical solutions that improve nutrition and health outcomes in livestock.

One of Karsten’s standout innovations involves the use of high-dose phytase enzymes. By adjusting iron and phosphorus levels in feed, his team has found a way to reduce the prevalence of Campylobacter in broilers—a breakthrough with significant implications for food safety and animal welfare.

It’s about understanding biology deeply—and using that knowledge to create solutions that improve animal health and food safety.

For Karsten, science is more than research—it’s a tool for transformation. His approach combines rigorous inquiry with a clear focus on impact, helping IFF deliver products that make a measurable difference in the field.
